Bruce Cockburn, DANCING IN THE DRAGON'S JAWS, Columbia 48736 (1979).

Two lesser-known but quite influential singer-songwriters, both of whom are talented fingerstyle players, are Bruce Cockburn and Nick Drake...

Cockburn's DANCING IN THE DRAGON'S JAWS, on the other hand, is a joyous release that saw the Canadian singer-songwriter finally crack the American Top 40 with "Wondering Where the Lions Are." While Cockburn has successfully recorded over a dozen albums since, many of his fans still view DANCING IN THE DRAGON'S JAWS as the high-water mark of his acoustic-based recordings.
